LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, tienes acid Reply to Dr. Macleod.

Sik,—My letter in your issue of the 10th inst. was a criticism of Dr. Macleod’s address, as reported in your paper the fol- lowing day- I willnot again discuss the question whether nature or education organizes brain and nerve tissue, but wll leave it to the reader to judge.

[ cannot, however, refrain from ssying that it 18 surprising that the Dr. should so far

forget himself, as to insinuate that lam in favor of the cramming process in schoula, | | have said nothing which can warrant such | an insinuation. Here are my words—‘* The pian of study which 1 recommend accom- plishes the double purpose, which is so desirable, viz., the development of the brain and nerve tissue and the imparting of useful knowledge.” The follewing are | Dr. .‘acleod’s words—** My idea is that | only «ach knowledge of facts is useful in |

|

the highest and best sense which subserves |

the organization of brain and th« ught,”’ This last is but a repetition of the old | philosophy which was in its glory 2000 | years ago, which flourished extensively up to withina few hundred years ago, and | even now exists, although in a languishing | state. it has received its death b.ow, but still has its advocates.

The professors of this uld philosophy not only did not and do not aim at the educa- tion of the mind with a view to the in- crease of power and means for the relief of the necessities, and the increase of the comfort of the masses, but they openly and ostentatiously repudiated any suchaim. A few men there were, who being highly intellectual, possessed of a poetic tem pera- ment, and trained under this philosophy became almost gorgeously grand, by as much as anything, being placed in coutrast with the ignorance and intellectual abase- ment of the masses around them. Dr. Maclevod’s philosophy, beirg of a similar kind, must produce similar results—the formation of (three classes of men, viz., tew magnificent unpractical scholars, a larger namber of unpractical, unproductive professional loungers—ani a great mass of men who have not the taste nor opportunity to ally themselves with either of the two former, and who yet muat become alto- gether ineflicient, because they never can have imparted to them a knowledge or even a taste for practical science or scientific abor.

The old dreamers met their foe at last. A deliverer came. Lord Bacon (quoted by Dr. Macleod) appeared and announced hia new gospel—‘‘| meditate the inauguration of a philosophy which has nothing of a fruitless imprac’ical nature, and which avowedly tends to improve the conditions of human life.” The new philosophy rapitly spread, the masses at once becaine interested, and the results are to be seen to-day ajl over the world in the develop- ment of the arts and sciences and the im- provement of the means of comfort and happiness of men.

‘The old faith, however, is not yet ex tinct, of which wo have proof even among ourselves. In this country we have made sume changes, but a great deal s‘ill remains to be done. Some of our educational cfti cials should be sent abroad to catch the spirit of improvement and learn the new methods. Our old teachers will, of course, oppose any radical change, as this will be against their cherished convicticns and habits, and will necessitate increased labor on their part

1 feel strongly on this matter. When I left College, the last of the educational series, | knew nothing, for I had heard nothing, of the natural sciences,of the most rudimentary principles of mechanics and such like; and when asked about these matters, 1 had to confess, to my shame, my total ignorance. The damage to me is irreparable. J had learned something of abstract principles which probably ‘did subserve the organization of brain and thought,” but as I thought of being some- thing else than an angel while in this world, it did net suffice, I had heard quite a lot about the wiles, and loves, and hates, and vengeful ire, aad drunken revels, and paternal solicitude of the heathen gods and goddesses, but ali these things avai! me but little

A great part of owr revenaes, both coun- try and civic, is spent in educational matter, It is the duty of our statesmen to see that it is epent to a far better purpose than it is at present, sud this cannot be done too s00n.

HAT the "03 “SWIFT” is the best wheel

made in KNGLAND, and that it is second to none in AMERICA, any ugprejudiced wheel- man will say after a fair test of this Machine's powers,

Here are a few plain reasons why the SWIrt, made by the Coventry Machinists Company, Coventry, England, the oldest Cycle Manufac-

turers in’ the world, is the acme of all that is great and good in a stricily high-grade wheel:-

(BECAUSE it is simple, and the adjustment and bearings accurate.

BECAUSE it is strong —correct

light and

proporiioks not weight give strength

BECAUSE ite roller forged chain reduces friction to « minimum,

BECAUSE it w vot possible to make a better wheel.

WHY?

Many more equally os reasons can be oe why the “SWIFT” is THE wheel. I will ave 4 sample wheel herein a few days. Hold your orders until you heve seen it. Now is the time to buy the “ SWIFT.”
